  1. Review for Exam 32 & 33 By Mrs. Senger

  2. The speed of a seismic wave depends on • The type of material it travels through • The amplitude • Its frequency • The amount of sediment

  3. The speed of a seismic wave depends on • The type of material it travels through • The amplitude • Its frequency • The amount of sediment

  4. Motion in a P Wave is • Side to side • Up and down • Transverse • Longitudinal

  5. Motion in a P Wave is • Side to side • Up and down • Transverse • Longitudinal

  6. The fastest seismic wave is a • Rayleigh wave • Tertiary wave • Secondary wave • Primary wave

  7. The fastest seismic wave is a • Rayleigh wave • Tertiary wave • Secondary wave • Primary wave

  8. A seismograph • Helps prevent earthquakes • Measures ground movement • Predicts earthquakes • Measures fault displacement

  9. A seismograph • Helps prevent earthquakes • Measures ground movement • Predicts earthquakes • Measures fault displacement

  10. Secondary waves can travel through all areas of the Earth except the • Mantle • Surface • Inner core • Outer core

  11. Secondary waves can travel through all areas of the Earth except the • Mantle • Surface • Inner core • Outer core

  12. The outer core • Is solid as a rock • Transmits S waves • Has a plastic like flow • Flows fast enough to power the Earth’s magnetic field

  13. The outer core • Is solid as a rock • Transmits S waves • Has a plastic like flow • Flows fast enough to power the Earth’s magnetic field

  14. The Earth’s layer with plastic like behavior is the • Mantle • Inner core • Outer core • Crust

  15. The Earth’s layer with plastic like behavior is the • Mantle • Inner core • Outer core • Crust

  16. The core of the earth is probably composed of • An iron-nickel alloy • Aluminum oxides • Silicate minerals • Calcium magnesium sulfate

  17. The core of the earth is probably composed of • An iron-nickel alloy • Aluminum oxides • Silicate minerals • Calcium magnesium sulfate

  18. Evidence to support the concept that the inner core is solid & the outer core is liquid comes from • The inner core is not solid, it is a liquid • Refraction of seismic waves as they encounter different mediums • The absence of waves after the crust • The wave shadow effect of P & S waves and the P waves increasing speed as it enters the core

  19. Evidence to support the concept that the inner core is solid & the outer core is liquid comes from • The inner core is not solid, it is a liquid • Refraction of seismic waves as they encounter different mediums • The absence of waves after the crust • The wave shadow effect of P & S waves and the P waves increasing speed as it enters the core

  20. The inner core is solid because • It is composed of iron and nickel • The surrounding outer layers act as a blanket to insulate the core • Pressure from the weight of the surrounding layers prevents the inner core from melting • None of these, the inner core is a liquid

  21. The inner core is solid because • It is composed of iron and nickel • The surrounding outer layers act as a blanket to insulate the core • Pressure from the weight of the surrounding layers prevents the inner core from melting • None of these, the inner core is a liquid

  22. The outer core is a liquid because • It is magnetically charged • Of less weight, and thus less pressure • The inner core is solid • It is composed of molten iron

  23. The outer core is a liquid because • It is magnetically charged • Of less weight, and thus less pressure • The inner core is solid • It is composed of molten iron

  24. The outer core is thought to be molten because it • Is denser than the inner core • Will not transmit S waves • Will not transmit P waves • Is made of iron and nickel

  25. The outer core is thought to be molten because it • Is denser than the inner core • Will not transmit S waves • Will not transmit P waves • Is made of iron and nickel

  26. The earth’s magnetic field is generated in • The outer core • The mantle • The crust • Space

  27. The earth’s magnetic field is generated in • The outer core • The mantle • The crust • Space

  28. The mantle is composed of • Iron and nickel • Solid rock • Half liquid and half rocky material • Iron-rich silicate rocks

  30. The upper mantle is the region known as the • Centrosphere • Mohorovicic • Lithosphere • Asthenosphere

  31. The upper mantle is the region known as the • Centrosphere • Mohorovicic • Lithosphere • Asthenosphere

  32. Thermal convection movement in the upper mantle • Generates electric current that powers the magnetic fields • Heats the earth’s core by friction • Is usually negligible • Greatly influences the Earth’s surface features

  33. Thermal convection movement in the upper mantle • Generates electric current that powers the magnetic fields • Heats the earth’s core by friction • Is usually negligible • Greatly influences the Earth’s surface features

  34. The crustal surface and the uppermost section of the mantle is called the • Mohorovicic • Centrosphere • Asthenosphere • Lithosphere

  35. The crustal surface and the uppermost section of the mantle is called the • Mohorovicic • Centrosphere • Asthenosphere • Lithosphere

  36. The lithosphere floats atop of the • Mohorovicic • Asthenosphere • Crust • mantle

  37. The lithosphere floats atop of the • Mohorovicic • Asthenosphere • Crust • mantle

  38. Movement of the lithosphere • Has leisurely pace and allows the formation of gentle rolling hills • Causes earthquakes and volcanoes • Has a plastic like flow • None of these

  39. Movement of the lithosphere • Has leisurely pace and allows the formation of gentle rolling hills • Causes earthquakes and volcanoes • Has a plastic like flow • None of these

  40. What portion of the surface crust is dense and thin? • Ocean crust • Continental crust • Both • Neither

  41. What portion of the surface crust is dense and thin? • Ocean crust • Continental crust • Both • Neither
